Pat Riot Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Crows have become some of my favorite birds. Smart smart birds. Much to my neighbor’s chagrin I feed the crows in my neighborhood. They keep pigeons and seagulls away. They warn of predators. They keep hawks away from eating my songbirds. I like having them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I suspect there are smart crows and dumb crows just like there are smart people and dumb people. Cool to see what the smart ones can do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I suspect the crow was trained. If he could figure out that Rube Goldberg scenario, why not just push the thing with the meat on it off the table onto the floor? Seems like that would have been simpler.

Would you want to eat something that had been on the floor? We have established that it is a smart bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, that it is capable of learning the complex task is Impressive. I've seen videos of crows in the wild opening zippered bags on bikes.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 That bird was trained and any animal can be trained with enough patience and food! It's still pretty impressive though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amazing thing about the dancing bear, is not how well he dances, but that he dances at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
